TAKEN: THE MUSIC, THE CONCEPT, THE MEANINGS.

TAKEN…Do you know when something or somebody gets you down so much that you feel like there is nothing else in your life than that? Well, music has fairly taken my mind. I’ve been working on my record  from some months, almost the last 2 years. Lately I sometimes look like catatonic and senseless: I got a kind of intrusion in my brain, a continuous interference, an endless harmony that plays along with me. I’m able to stop this only when I grab a mic and I put all of myself into beatboxing. But it’s not a constant.

TAKEN…when everything started I couldn’t expect all of this but subconsciously I probably knew it. And I’m pleased. Blessed. Stoned and blessed. Music comes itself like a winkle in the sky, you just have to be sensible and fast enough to catch the moment, focus on that and fix it. That’s probably why I don’t like to talk a lot and I’m mostly concentrated on listening. I could be able to catch a sound far from kilometers. I could stay alone for days without the need of saying or doing nothing then listening to the empty spaces. The sounds are fascinating. Empty spaces are stunning.

BEATBOXING is hard. I have to admit that it’s probably the most difficult way to compose music… You have to find a sound where, actually, the sound doesn’t exist. It takes a lot of time till you get the knowledge… I used and I use to practice a lot… also when I keep shut  my mind is elaborating sounds and breathing techniques…or focusing on an instrument, or a “solo” I heard maybe days before in some jazz track. I think this is a good method. I’m a meticulous in most of the things I do, and harsh with myself. Eleven years on stage and I remember one only show I did that made me say “this time I’ve been near to the perfection”. It was some weeks ago, the best 2 days in my life… there was something around there… or probably somebody who gave me the peace of mind that I would love to have for ever.

TAKEN is a concept, an abduction, a dedication, an experience, a sound inspection. Is where I’m putting together all of my feelings into single tracks that will compose a story, the soundtrack of my story, original compositions. Every single track is a chapter, every title is dedicated to a moment of this story.

SLOW eMOTIONS – SOUL MAGNETS – WIN KEY – TAKEN BY YOU – THE 4TH KIND – BOUNCING IN THE LANDSCAPE  - NOCTURNE IN  ”D” MINOR: WINKLES IN THE DARK – TAKE THE GREY BRAIN – STARS SHIELD…… Those are just some of the tracks I’m working on. I still have to decide how the story will finish. The last and conclusive chapter will depend by facts. I’m almost sure that it depends by that peace of mind I was talking about. I’ll find a way. Keep in contact. Get ready….I’m coming.
